Metabolic engineering
Research objectives
Engineer microorganisms for the
–Production of high added value chemical synthons
–Production of food supplements and novel pharmaceutical compounds.
3 teams that
–Develop and use Synthetic Biology approaches to rewire existing or construct new metabolic pathways
–Use Systems Biology tools to analyze, better understand and further tune synthetic metabolic networks
| 3 teams with complimentary approaches
|
